This clause creates an operational obligation for Meta to process data deletion requests within defined parameters, establishing the conditions under which user data must be removed from Meta's systems and the exceptions to that obligation.
Users may request deletion of their data held by Meta, and Meta is contractually obligated to comply with such requests unless the data is required to be retained by law or has been aggregated or anonymized in a manner that prevents individual attribution.
How other platforms handle this
We keep information for as long as we need it to provide our products, comply with legal obligations, or for other legitimate purposes, such as to maintain safety, security, and integrity.
After your account is deleted, we keep data about interactions you've had on our service to prevent abuse, ban evaders and others in an effort to protect and ensure the safety and security of our service and our members.
At Ledger, earning and maintaining our users' trust is a top priority. That's why we are deeply committed not only to protecting your privacy and securing your personal data, but also to being fully transparent about how we handle it.
